Overview​

A five-year starter with elite size, Glover is well-proportioned with good lean mass. His stance is funky and might need to be corrected to improve his pass sets and avoid play tells. Glover has good length, but his hands can be late or inaccurate, which mitigates his size/length advantage. He’s a plus drive blocker and can climb up or outside the box and adjust to movement. Improved hand usage and placement will bolster his consistency as both a run and pass blocker, but quick defenders might always trouble him. Whether he ends up at tackle or guard, Glover has the traits and upside that could allow him to stick around on a roster and improve his chances for eventual playing time.

Strengths​

• Highly experienced with a mountainous frame and excellent length.
• Plays with good bend and athleticism for a player of his size.
• Has enough mirror talent and hand strength to survive at tackle.
• Rolls hips into kick-out block to crowd and leverage the end.
• Power in his lower half clears run lanes on down blocks.
• Can make timely adjustments to movement as a blocker in space.

Weaknesses​

• Needs to lower punch aim, as hands frequently fly into rusher’s face.
• Inconsistent feel for pocket depth.
• Likely to need help against wide-9 looks and quicker rushers.
• Too much head ducking into first contact.
• Needs to speed up hand strikes fitting into his run blocks.
